it was already Open..that's why Linux was there in the first place!

"I hate closed hardware and I think any company that does should just go burn. So I really see absolutely no problem with unlocking the PS3 fully."

an see exactly that is the problem:

opening up a system to allow piracy of their property is going to happen, but when your software sales are not large on a game by game basis, than that become's a problem.

you say open up thing's for fun?

that's like saying stealing is just for fun?

it does matter to the people that invest more money to make those game's how would you feel if you seen 4+ million copy's of your game stolen?

 

I agree with all that, but still think they shouldnt have done it. They should have fixed that on their next platform (they already done with the slim). Even so, the loss from upsetting people may be as big as the loss from hack on PS3. Whats funny is, people that want to hack will still be able to do so. In this particular case I think they go into trouble to save only 1 or 2 socks. They ban PSN for everyone instead of finding a way to ban PSN only modded PS3 as done by Microsoft. They dont even fix the problem, hackers will still hack. IMO its a very strange move in this case. Im definitly not pro pirating others right but what theres to gain in this move can easily be upset by what is to loose since hackers will simply downgrade firmware or not update while other legit users will loose their "other OS" function when updating.

In resumee, my point is that hackers will still be able to hack there console with a banned PSN, while legit users are ban from either "otherOS" or PSN for almost no gain for Sony. The guys at Sony corp who thought of that, really took the easy way around and didnt thought if this was really justify by the risk. The risk is still there, but their legit users are screwed...

like I stated before while removing Install other OS sony could have in the works a:

LINUX LIVE BOOT that work's from the BD-DRIVE. which could work even on the slim.

just like they may have for backward compatability for ps2 games in the future.

I am not saying they will but that indeed be an option in the future. it would run from the disc like any software.

Sony has taken thing's out , but also have made it where you can put it right back.

example:

when the other USB port's were removed and went from 4 back down to 2 the fact that you can add any USB hub was one of the reason's why they were doing that besides saving money.

So if Sony does indeed make a Live boot Linux install how many people would get it?

Sony could even hand them out.
